I Can Pack for That: Singapore! Special Edition

Mes cheris my absolute favorite thing about blogging is hearing from all of you! The blogging community is the most amazing around and I love it when I get to talk to each of you directly, so when I heard from Kate last week...I was thrilled to respond and help!

Kate has been a total fan of the latest I Can Pack for That series I started, to give helpful travel packing inspiration boards for different travel destinations. Kate emailed me with a dilemma because she has a business trip coming up...to SINGAPORE! Right now, Singapore is HOT and RAINY. What is a professional fashionista to do? Good question! So...let's see what magic we can make. **SPOILER ALERT** This is a two part Packing How To post!

Concern #1: WEATHER

1- Bring light layers you can mix and match.

2- Be prepared: rain gear, sunnies, adapter, bug spray

3- Maintain a staple color i.e. nude and black

Concern #2: 30 HOUR FLIGHT!

1- E-READER for books, mags, & games

2- Laptop for movies and conference prep

3- Two Carry Ons: I ALWAYS use a large travel purse and a rolling laptop bag.

I can fit as much as possible without breaking my back this way.

4- Be Comfy: Cardigan, blanket, mask, pillow, and an MP3

5- Be Fresh: Hydrating Skincare, change of clothes, toothbrush, and makeup.

6- I always carry a journal to pen my travels!

Packing for travel can be daunting so if you feel you will be overwhelmed, start a few days early and slowly check things off your list. Be sure to pack by outfits so you know you have enough, and plan pieces that can change with each other to double your wardrobe. Singapore was definitely a special case with such extreme weather on top of a long flight, but you can always adjust where needed!

Lipstick & Loveliness

Eternal beauty. Sophia Loren was one of those iconic women of our time that just exuded beauty from her very core. I happen to love shots of women putting on lipstick, hers as no exception, and for some reason I think it feels old fashioned and lady like. I am definitely a lip stick woman, give me my matte Garnet Laura Mercier anyday over the glossy hair-magnet counterpart.

{merci WeHeartIt!}

Find your inner Sophia Loren today darlings!

Catwalks of Spring 2011: Guest Blogger Series

The settling into my Big City dream is almost complete my darlings and I thank you with a thousands XOs for having patience and providing support while I've ventured down this rocky path full of obstacles to accomplish my goals. With only a few boxes left to unpack in my new apartment and a growing list of things to buy to make it feel like "home" I have started to really enjoy it here. Not that I didn't before, but its kind of hard to love a city fully when you are worried about being homeless...but I digress. I still need to set up the TV and internet in my pad and there will be plenty of decorating to do which I'm hoping to bring you all along with me for the excitement!

In the meantime, I'm sure you've been desparate to get the scoop on last month's Spring 2011 NY Fashion Week and Meaghan of WIT & Whimsy has just that for you! Enjoy the views of the catwalks mes cheries!

While we get into Fall and I begin to secretly await the days where I can wrap myself in thick and cozy Theory sweaters and fun, inexpensive pieces recently picked up at H&M, I'm still already beginning to craft styles in my head for Spring.

At Fashion Week, I have to admit my favorite part is seeing certain trends come to the surface. Here's what I saw for Spring 2011...get excited! (And see all my NYFW Spring 2011 posts here!)

Hats are back:

in a big way (literally and figuratively)
